A couple side shots.
Looking good, are you running 315/70/17 Pats? If so, how are they working w/ the stock sport gearing if you have the 8AT?

Yes, 315 70/17, v6 and automatic. The plan is to regear to 4.56 very soon. The vehicle handles the larger tires with the 3.45 gears fine but there is definitely some noticeable lag when the transmission wants to sit in, say, 4th gear when it should be in 3rd, for example, and especially on any sort of uphill. There is a moment or two of the engine protesting (mildly) before the tranny says “Oh” and downshifts. This may be helped once the tazer programmer gets installed (waiting for it to come in). Right now the transmission and speedo think we’re still on stock wheels and tires. It does search around a bit here and there for the right gear on the road and definitely runs into a lower than normal gear on an incline, bit there’s no real trouble going on. I wouldn’t run it geared as such for an extended period of time, but a few weeks won’t be a problem. Gas mileage went from about 23 average to 19 at present.

Was about to place a factory order and down to debating between Granite and Snazzberry but, then I saw Sting Gray at dealer this week and I got completely frazzled...its my new favorite! Haven't seen snazzberry in person, and I'm afraid it will be too berry'ish bright. Would love it if it was deep dark maroon but pics on forum dont look like jeep website pic for that color so I'm afraid to order w/o seeing it in person. Definitely now leaning towards Sting Gray and pics here are so helpful and validating how I feel about the color!! Thank you!

I would be afraid of the Snazzberry looking to berryish as well. Here's more Sting Gray to sway you. The last two pics really show how the color changes in different lighting. :)

Sorry for a delayed response... I go offline for days at a time, then try to catch up all in one sitting. (This is terrible, I know.. please don't judge. lol :giggle: )
Anywho.. How much do you have invested in the self-healing protective film (PPF?) and are you planning to apply it yourself?
Also.. I LOVE your third brake light with the Jeep grill underneath!
